Pre-Conditions
and DC/DC Check
Before
power-on, please check the board according to the relevant block diagram and
circuit diagram, and make sure that no serious issue or mistake can destroy the
board. For example, the output of DC/DC and LDO should not be shorted to
ground.
Supply a suited voltage and power-on, then check the voltage according to the
relevant block diagram, circuit diagram and voltage specification.
For example, check SoC voltage (3V3, 1V8, CORE_1V2, 5V, 5VSTB, etc.), DDR
voltage (DDR-1V5), audio amplifier voltage (12V), etc...
Measurements should fulfil specification within ±5% tolerances.

In
case of starting from blanked flash / eMMC, it’s necessary to use “Blank
upgrade” to update the SW.
MP Step
In
case of starting from blanked flash, it’s necessary to write “ V8-N563T01-LF1VXXX _emmc_writer.bin” file
via factory copy in advance.
OAD Stream
To manage quicker mass
reflashing on predefined DVB Channel, some licensed IBL tools ('xxx2lli.exe',
'lli2dsm.exe',dsmmerge.exe …) from Intel byte Inc. might be necessary to create
appropriate DVB SSU image. Over some predefine settings such as repeated data
block insertion, null packets size, … that are controllable in configuration
file, here below are mandatory OUI entries structure to prepare DSM-CC carousel
image format:
|
export CUST_OAD_OUI |
0x001C50 |
OAD reflashing is managed within 4 steps operation: multiplex detection, DVB transfer, flashing and warm-start.
UART & IR Parser
To
use both UART and/or IR parser, TV has to be set in Factory mode with its USB
port well connected to suitable UART device or an IR emitter device correctly
facing up TV (see below “Product Assembly - section 2.0” how to activate
“Factory key”).
The UART parser engine is enabled by sending following command “0xE2” from host to TV within following
presets 115200/8/n/1.
Once initialized, “PS” caption
is toggle displayed on bottom left screen (“S” like Serial).
To communicate with TV depending on SIACP revision layout implementation, you
need to fulfil UART/IR commands protocol and format described on enclosed SIACP
requirements document.
Project ID Modification
There
are different IDs stored in the eMMC depending on different Panels settings and
Models features, but there’s only one key branching Project ID that includes
all. So, it’s not recommended to modify Panel ID with Hyper terminal as other
ID features may not change.
To modify Project ID, you need to go through “Factory menu -> Other
-> Project ID -> Project ID”,
then spin left or right with RCU “◄/►”
keys to chose suitable ID (Project name is dynamically refreshed).It is
necessary to press “OK” key for saving the setting.
“How to change Project ID with RCU”
See below is the Project ID table for reference:
Functional Test
Once
the boards (chassis, KB, IR, PSU…) and the panel are well interconnected, plug
all external generator devices to relevant below inputs/outputs using
respective test patterns format to check picture and sound quality:
Picture video formats can be changed by the factory according to their own standard.
AD Calibration Test
As
the A/D self-calibration mechanism is built-in Soc, there’s no any ADC to
perform.
DDC & EDID & T-Link Test
The
E-EDID data structures are according to VESA Enhanced EDID 1.3 (and
EIA/CEA-861B for HDMI). CEA Timing Extension structure has been extended to
support all 3D capable timings.
All HDMI structures have their own BIN profile which are part of main SW and
uploaded at power-on into soc chipset:
For EDID check, it’s needed to check whether the correct EDID is downloaded by
checking corresponding EDID NVM Checksum or read them out to check bit by bit
if it is in line with the released EDID bin file.
HDCP Test
For
HDCP compliancy, it’s needed to check whether the HDCP key has been well set by
connecting suitable generator.
CI+ Key Upgrade, Activation and Test
See “How to upgrade CI Key using USB”, “How to upgrade ESN Key using USB”, “How to upgrade HDCP key & HDCP2.0 key using USB”
LAN and WLAN Test (MAC address and Device or User ID codes)
Here
are some representative codes examples:
MAC Address Upgrade (IPv6)
MAC can be set using UART
commands described on enclosed SIACP requirements (rev. v3.9).
Writing MAC command <0xB3>,
Data length <6>, Data type
<HEXA> (see below command
example from above MAC code) <AA 0B
B3 5C 36 B8 A8 9D CC 36
78>
|
Device ID (DID) |
Purpose is to allow Other Newtork Download (OND) and further specific Services via dedicated abroad portal (UK tbc).4 At final, when TV may ask for portal connection, there’ll be Device ID matching control sent by host (TV client) to ensure total integrity.
For such, specific DID (40
bytes) needs to be paired and overwritten into memory for internal client
encryption.
All DID and MAC codes have to be download from portal local service via
suitable factory workstation LAN system.
Then during production lot, it’s necessary to send/write all those codes to
each TV.
DID codes can only be set using UART commands described above on enclosed SIACP
requirements (rev. v3.9).
Writing Device ID command <0xB2>, Data length <32>, Data type <ASCII> (see below command example
from above DID code)
<AA 25 B2 42 45 34 46 32
35 35 42 42 44 31 30 36 42 43 38 46 38 30 36 41 45 34 35 36 33 35 30 44 39 31
46 48 93>
|
LAN Test |
A
rough LAN test can be done by connecting DHCP server to TV’s RJ45 and check
that IP, subnet mask, DNS, …
addresses are visible on “Settingsà NetworkàInternet
connection(On)àIP settings”.
More in-depth test can be performed faster using suitable UART/IR commands
following SIACP requirements. SW will internally manage Network ID (NID) flag
controlling all MAC/DID/UID integrity to facilitate PA screening further.
It’s not necessary to check video and audio from DLNA server.

White Balance Touch-Up (Golden sample)
As
some colour coordinates discrepancies can be noticed from panel batches to
others, it may necessary to perform slight touch-up.
For Colour temperature adjustment, switch TV on leading HDMI input where should be connected suitable generator providing
following format 1280x720p@60Hz test
pattern. A 32 steps grey scale is recommended to assess relevant calorimetric
tracking and low/high light saturation points.
Ensure that TV’s picture
enhance is off.
Ensure that TV is in Factory mode to access to ”White Balance” adjustment submenu, then scroll down to toggle off
“Pic. Enhance” flag.
WB Normal is the first mode which is adjusted in HDMI source， the next are HDMI warm and
cool mode.
Warm and Cool Tone are relatives to Normal
mode. WB adjust need to fix default G Gain .Offset registers needn’t to
be adjusted.
“Gain” registers set need to be
adjusted at 70IRE.
Targets and Tolerances for all inputs
(According to company uniform LED color temperature standard of panel)
The
measured and adjustable parameters should be mainly “x”, “y”
coordinates.
The White Balance alignment should be performed using a well calibrated and
contact less analyzer (ex: Minolta CA210 or CA310). The analyzer may not touch
the screen surface, and measurement must be performed in a dark environment
keeping the probe(s) at 90+/-2° from the panel centre.
The results should fulfil specification for each TV set offered by R&D and
below tolerances::
Important: If measurements are performed on whatever else LED panel with Minolta CA210, it’s required to calibrate additional channel (ex: CH01) using relative following offsets (CH00 remains for CCFL panel): +0.002 for “x” and +0.012 for “y”.
